  1. Choose a Constellation . Any one will do!
  2. Open the Application "Stellarium" on your Macbook.
  3. Drag the ComicLife document from your iCal, or find it on my Teachers folder.
  4. Create a "comic book" introduction to your chosen constellation.

A good introduction should identify:

  • bright stars in the constellation;
  • close stars in the constellation;
  • different types of stars in the constellation;

An excellent introduction could also identify:

  • objects that look like stars, but are really something else;
  • when and where this constellation could be seen;
  • how this constellation has been pictured in other civilizations, or in your imagination;
  • anything else that "inquiring minds" would find interesting!
